    Everything was as expected, and the hottub was delightful after a day of wineries. Hope to use the other amenities in the future, we just had a busy schedule.

    We had booked this property for a relaxing girl's weekend. We specifically booked this property for the hot tub, sauna, and water view. The amenities were absolutely fabulous. We loved the hot tub. We never got a chance to use the sauna but it looked great. There were several great surprises when we checked in. First of all, we were pleasantly surprised that the water view was better than expected. We knew a street seperated the house and the beach property so I didn't have high expecations of the view, but it was great. I loved seeing the water from living room and kitchen which was really helpful since we went in April. Another great surprise was how wonderfully stocked the property was. It wasn't one of those bare bones properties. For example we appreciated having a make-up mirror! It's the little things that really make a property so great. It's not what you would call updated but the picture are accurate and honestly it doesn't take away from the experience at all! Also, it is a shared property as stated & we did 'run' into the other person who lived there basically everyday we were there but it personally doesn't bother me and they were respectful of us coming and going.I would have loved to come when it was a bit warmer but we were still able to have a fire on the beach and I loved every minute of it. They have a great set-up on the beach which I have sure is absolutely sublime in the warmer months. Lastly, Aaron was very gracious and a good communicator.

    This is a beautiful cottage and it is very well kept and clean. Our stay was in early spring during cold weather and the furnace was more than up to the task. Access to the beach is across an unbusy road, and the view of the beach and bay was very nice. Lots of amenities as described in the write-up, and everything was tip-top shape. We had a very relaxing long weekend in spite of less than ideal weather. I'm sure this property is wonderful in the spring, summer, and fall. I highly recommend this property, and will be looking to come back again.

    The description doesn't do it justice. If you're looking for the perfect Michigan beach day experience book now! I would love to return in the summer to take advantage of the gazebo on the beautiful beachfront!! This location is truly so cozy and peaceful. We saw a couple of snow storms during our stay and Mr Aaron was sure to clear the snow for us. He was a wonderful host! The creek going through the trees is the perfect scene for the hot tub as well! Gold stars all around!

    The host was welcoming and the home and amenities were in good shape. The Home was spacious, comfortable and we especially enjoyed the hot tub on the back deck. We were unable to get the gas fireplace to work and it would have been helpful to have a clear list of items to complete before we checked out of the property.

    The place was clean and nice. The owners live in part of the house but we're not there while we were (and the areas are separate). The hot tub was okay and I didnt try the sauna long (could figure it out). The lake view was absolutely amazing and very relaxing. Lots of outdoor amenities on the property. I really enjoyed the stay.

    Great place, clean and well appointed. Everything you need is in the kitchen. Bathrooms are also well stocked and we appreciated the big box fans for nighttime (even though there is also A/C). The beach area is on the other side of the road but the road is rather quiet and the beach is lovely complete with SUPs, kayaks and a cute gazebo with furniture. It was nice and relaxing for our family.

    The place is really nice. The beach is something a person wont forget. Aaron is a good guy. If we had an issue, he was on it. The fire pit was awesome! This place has a lot to offer. Its great for adults and children. The reason for a mid score was I felt that Aaron keeps to close of an eye on things. Good and bad. The hot tub area is fantastic but there was no privacy. Aaron lives above the garage. He keeps his windows open in the hot tub area. We didn't feel very comfortable about that. The house AC was blowing hot air. It was 76 degrees in the house at midnight. Most of our time was spent on the fantastic beach across the street from the location. Very, very low traffic. Another thing was the front door. Only way to get into the place was dropping your shoulder into it and hitting it really hard. I like to be out late on the beach. I would get back to the house and I would have to really hit it, waking my family up. We made it work. When it comes to your fire pit. You should really post your rules on the beach, Aaron. The fire was well maintained but a little big but contained. There's no reason to be watching out your windows waiting for me to go in. Then I go in for food and use the rest room and come back out to see that you poured water on my fire and took the lighter fluid you accommodated us with. It was like we were little children and we had the beach police after dark. The lighter fluid thing really hurt your score.

    The place is NOT as pictured. There are the owners living above in the attached garage- no privacy shade (as owner states). The house is across the street from the lake and does not back up to the lake. The outdoor is dirty and unwelcome. The largest issue the awful smell inside. We literally walked in and left and booked another place.

We enjoyed relaxing and playing games in front of the fireplace and were even more excited to soak in the hot tub on the cold winter nights. We were able to make our own dinners and breakfasts easily in the kitchen because it was stocked with every item we needed. We would definitely come back again!
